So, my R. A. finally gave out on me... the left grip just snapped, so...

But check out this absolute beast from Logitech

Logitech G600 MMO

Just another proud member of the TwinFrozr club...😁

It's available over at $131... assuming I guessed the right model, since there are a few different versions out there.

The MSI GTX 660 TwinFrozr features excellent cooling, great overclocking potential, low power draw, and a three-year warranty... With some OC, it easily hits GTX 580 levels... It’s definitely a smarter move than gambling on a card without any coverage.

It’s a top-tier card, but unfortunately, there’s no warranty. The real question is how much the previous owner pushed it with high voltage, so it’s definitely a gamble...
Better to grab a new MSI GTX 660 TF with a three-year warranty for that kind of money; at least you'll have peace of mind.

If we're talking about Lightning, then the graphics are definitely top-tier, but since there's zero warranty involved, I'd steer clear and listen to Benjamin King2 instead...

You can swap it out for something else, or just pay the difference for a premium option if you prefer...

That EVGA 450 is powering a GTX 680 paired with a 3570K...

Just a quick question... why is it that both of these power supplies are treated as "okay," yet if someone mentions putting that Corsair unit in their PC, everyone suddenly jumps in to say it "isn't great" or that "the series hasn't performed well"? Meanwhile, everyone talks up that Zalman unit like it's the gold standard for every single build? I'm not aiming this directly at you, but rather at the usual crowd on these forums... It feels a bit inconsistent...

It’s because the previous EVGA CX Series (Delta Electronics) was much better. This EVGA CX430 doesn't even come close, despite being in a similar price bracket...
The Corsair CX450 has higher specs, costs less, and performs better. There are plenty of reasons to go with the Corsair...😁

FSP Group, Thermaltake Toughpower, Corsair RM Series, plus some Delta Electronics and even those Microsoft units aren't actually bad for entry-level builds...

If you’re planning on overclocking, grab that 600W OCZ ModXStream Pro for $180

The drama coming out of Red Bull Racing is just so predictable... They’re always complaining, acting like the whole world is against them, lecturing everyone about team orders and respect, all while spending the entire season driving a car that barely skirts the edge of legality... Huge props to Sebastian Vettel, but I honestly think Christian Horner and Adrian Newey are going to snatch that title away from him this year...

Christian Horner is going to be sick to his stomach... and he'll probably just go right back to claiming everyone is out to get them...

You can really see how brilliant everyone is being in those posts above....😁

It’s hard to even find the words for this one.....🤦

I feel like a broken record here... they won using a car that was simply in a league of its own 😁

I really hope we can all see eye to eye on that one...🙂

With a car that's a full second faster per lap, even my 83-year-old grandma could clinch the championship...😁
It’s even easier when you’re stuck with a teammate nobody can stand, let alone someone who's basically just filling a seat. He cruised to those titles way easier than Hakkinen did 😂

It’s honestly ridiculous seeing people hype up a guy who isn't even in the same league as Senna, Fangio, or Schumacher.
He only pulled off those results because he was driving an incredibly dominant car...

Real experts will have their say on this one eventually...☕

This one isn't bad either...

Benjamin King2 said:dustyskipper77, I honestly think you should strip those pre-installed Windows licenses out of the deal. That whole "dealer" thing smells like a scam... 😁 There's no way genuine Windows software is actually included in that initial price, so you could probably negotiate better peripherals instead...

I had my doubts too. No way some shady guy is offering a full, legitimate Windows license for only $4,800...😕
